   Description
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    This macro tests if the C compiler supports the flag FLAG-TO-CHECK. If
    successfull execute ACTION-IF-SUCCESS otherwise ACTION-IF-FAILURE. PROLOGUE
    and BODY are optional and should be used as in AC_LANG_PROGRAM macro.
   </p>
   <p>
    This code is inspired from KDE_CHECK_COMPILER_FLAG macro. Thanks to Bogdan
    Drozdowski &lt;bogdandr@op.pl&gt; for testing and bug fixes.
